I rarely go to the movies, but my BFFs wanted to see this one, so I went, too. Also, it was mid-day (we’re retired) so we had the theater to ourselves! Private screening. ;)
I thought it was really well done - and they kept the faggotry to a minimum. I would’ve taken a 13 year old (probably no younger) with me, no problem.
Would you agree that Mike Meyers inserting himself into the movie was a distraction? Granted, ‘Wayne’s World’ reintroduced Queen to a new generation, but I thought it gratuitous and unnecessary.
That was my one and only criticism of the film. *SHRUG*
I’ve enjoyed the music of Queen but never would consider myself a fan. The film was very enjoyable. It did show Freddie’s difficult times and his remorse for things he’d done, including the way he treated the band members. Otherwise it was a good old-fashioned biography.
I’ll be glad to see it again and I notice it’s now available for download.
“and they kept the faggotry to a minimum.”
I’m with that other poster. I’m not into faggotry at all. I read about that Beale Street movie on IMDB. Saw the word racism. Not interested in that movie now. Yes, racism exists today and is shameful, but I don’t need another Hollywood treatment of it.
Not sure who is Mike Meyers.......
